. this is the best oob support i have gotten from any distro, even sees my wireless card (broadcom). im running an hp dv6000 laptop, it will not grab the ip address, so i went ahead and tryed to force the ip address, but when i tryed to do a ping i was unsuccessful. It says im connected at full speed, and even sees the ssid, but i cant do anything. any help would be nice. thanks in advancejames
